Application Requirements.
For your application to be considered complete, you must meet the following requirements and upload the required documents to your application:
IDENTIFICATION: Front and back of a driver’s license or state-issued identification card, or a scan of a passport.
PROOF OF INCOME: Applicants are required to have a net monthly income of 2x the monthly rent. Please upload one month’s worth of your most recent pay stubs, showing net monthly income. For folks paid on a bi-weekly basis, this means two pay stubs. We can also accept job offer letters if they are signed and can be verified with a company representative. If you are non-salaried, have a non-standard income, or are a business owner, please upload your most recent tax forms.
PROOF OF ASSETS: Applicants are required to have proof of liquid assets showing at least 2x the monthly rent. Please upload a recent bank statement from a checking or savings account that verifies that you have 2x the monthly rent on-hand. Your name, the date, and the amount in the account need to be shown, but you're welcome to redact any transactions or additional information.
CREDIT & RENTAL HISTORY + BACKGROUND CHECK: Applicants are required to undergo a credit check and show proof of positive credit history. Please provide a valid SSN. If you have a freeze on your credit report, please be sure to lift the freeze before applying. If you do not have a SSN, please contact members@nest-dc.com for a by-pass option.
RENTAL HISTORY + REFERENCES: Applicants are required to provide 3 years of residential history to include contact information for their current and previous landlord and 3 personal references.
CO-SIGNER (OPTIONAL): The requirements for co-signers are slightly higher than for occupants. Co-signers must also meet either a minimum net income requirement of 3x the monthly rent OR a minimum liquid asset requirement of 5x the monthly rent. If you do not have a traditional co-signer, we partner with a program called the Guarantors (https://www.theguarantors.com/) that can step in as an acting co-signer.
